Check your syslog for problems, check your filesystem for errors. If 
none shows up errors, you might have bad RAM - check it with memtest86.

make menuconfig error

[Michael Buesch]

Hi.

I don't know, if this was posted some time ago, because I was unsubscribed
for a time.
I unpacked a vanilla 2.5.66, copied the .config of my already configured
2.5.64 to the new kernel, made a make menuconfig and immediately canceled
it, without saving.
I got this error-message:

# bla ...
  gcc  -o scripts/lxdialog/lxdialog scripts/lxdialog/checklist.o scripts/lxdialog/menubox.o scripts/lxdialog/textbox.o scripts/lxdialog/yesno.o scripts/lxdialog/inputbox.o scripts/lxdialog/util.o scripts/lxdialog/lxdialog.o scripts/lxdialog/msgbox.o -lncurses 
./scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/i386/Kconfig
#
# using defaults found in .config
#
.config:763: trying to assign nonexistent symbol INTEL_RNG


Your kernel configuration changes were NOT saved.



Regards Michael Buesch.

i'm pretty sure that, if you just unpacked the source for the
first time, you should first "make mrproper" just to play it
safe, and after that, you *must* do at least one full config
of some kind, to create a number of header files that are
necessary.  the fact that you said you did a "make menuconfig",
but bailed before you actually saved anything makes me uneasy.

and the INTEL_RNG has something to do with random number
generation.  but can you do a "make oldconfig" and see if
you get the same error?

buaaah, I'm very tired at the moment. :)
sorry for the question, problem is already solved and no
bug.
I'd better go to bed now. :)

Ok, it reads configuration from your old .config

> .config:763: trying to assign nonexistent symbol INTEL_RNG

Your old configuration assigned a value to INTEL_RNG, that symbol
seems to have disappered in the later kernels.
So actually no bug, just a report about an inconsistency in your
old configuration.

I guess this is another^4 bugreport from a Mandrake Kernel where this occurs 
if you enter the ALSA menu.

You are correct Marc!  At least that's how I tripped it.
